About Varsity

Who's Who?

The Editor is the person in charge of what appears in the paper, commissioning articles, controlling the vast team of contributors and scheduling each of the 21 issues per year. Unlike many student newspapers, Varsity editors don’t take a year off from their studies to do the job: as well as editing the paper for a term, they’re also studying full time for a degree!

The Team is made up of upto 40 students, from Section Editors to Photographers to Production staff, everyone plays a vital role in putting together the weekly newspaper in time for the deadline, and then doing it all again the following week!

The Business Manager is a full-time, salaried position responsible for the day-to-day running of the company, working closely with our advertising and printing partners and ensuring that the newspaper is professionally run and produced.

The Company Secretary works part-time, dealing with all the company’s finance and administration.

The Board of Directors bring a wealth of knowledge and decades of combined Varsity experience to the newspaper! Meeting twice a term, the Board is comprised of a mixture of ex-Editors, University academics and friends of the newspaper.
